The challenge with finding any new location of a favorite genre of food, is deciding which dishes t try. After all, holding a new site up to your crutch dishes from a perennial favorite is a little unfair. Looking at the starters, I generally twist between whether or not a Goi-Cuon or Cha Gio, and Satay or Mon an goi lettuce wraps is the best measure of a restaurants appeal to my taste buds. Fortunately Noodle 1 offered a very straight forward choice with a special platter for 2 that let us try their complete selection of appetizers. Satay Chicken, Goi-Cuón, Cha Giò, Wan Tan, butterfly-shrimps with dips

| The special platter for two |
In a break from the typical Vietnamese restaurants is the lack of Pho on the menu. So that relieved us from any predisposition to only have Pho and judge the place based on whether or not we liked this Pho over another Pho.

These two bowls of noodle goodness were the dinner options for us this Friday evening in Stuttgart. After a few weeks of Schwabisch and Bayerisch dining a bowl of hot asian noodles were just what the doctor ordered.

| MÌ GÀ CHIÊN |
Vikram based on the fine pictures in the menu thought the Mi Ga Chien looked interesting, and the description sounded the most like what he normally eats at his favorite place in Madison. Egg noodle soup with marinated chicken, fresh Asian vegetables and coriander. On refelction after it was done, Vikram lamented the choice they made to serve the chicken on the skewers. texturaly even if he had taken the chicken off the skewers, the size of meat chunks might not have come off perfectly.

| REIS BAND, beef noodle soup |
I opted for the Rice Band, which I can find no parallel for in my reckoning of previous Vietnamese meals. Not Pho, not Bun Bo Hue. Very tasty new dish for me to break those crutch habits. Noodle soup with fine strips of beef, fresh herbs of Asian vegetables, finished with Sambal Olek bean paste. The Rice Band, which I find I like, I now need to find if there is an equivalent at the other Vietnamese restaurants that I like.
